Polarization Improves E-0

Emre Telatar, Mine Alsan

We prove that channel combining and splitting via Arikan's polarization transformation improves Gallager's reliability function E-0 for binary input channels. In this sense, polarization creates E-0. This observation gives yet another justification as to w ...

Finite-Length Scaling for Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

Consider a binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channel W. Such a channel has a capacity, call it I (W), and for any R < I (W) and strictly positive constant P-e we know that we can construct a coding scheme that allows transmission at rate R with an e ...

Extremal Channels of Gallager's E-0 Under the Basic Polarization Transformations

Mine Alsan

We study the extremality of the binary erasure channel and the binary symmetric channel for Gallager's reliability function E-0 of binary input discrete memoryless channels evaluated under the uniform input distribution from the aspect of channel polarizat ...

The Generalized Loneliness Detector and Weak System Models for k-Set Agreement

Martin Biely

This paper presents two weak partially synchronous system models Manti(n-k) and Msink(n-k), which are just strong enough for solving k-set agreement: We introduce the generalized (n-k)-loneliness failure detector L(k), which we first prove to be sufficient ...

Spatially Coupled Ensembles Universally Achieve Capacity Under Belief Propagation

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

We investigate spatially coupled code ensembles. For transmission over the binary erasure channel, it was recently shown that spatial coupling increases the belief propagation threshold of the ensemble to essentially the maximum a priori threshold of the u ...

Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms in the Presence of Erasures

Nicholas Ruozzi

We examine how to design convergent and correct message-passing schemes, similar to the min-sum algorithm, for maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation in the case that the messages passed between two nodes of the network may never be delivered. The proposed ...

Generalized Codes on Graphs and Applications in Content Distribution

Masoud Alipour Babaei

The contribution of this thesis is twofold. In the first part, we generalize and analyze two classes of error correcting codes: LDPC codes and product codes. We generalize graphical codes by considering checks being arbitrary codes instead of single pariti ...

Scaling Exponent of List Decoders with Applications to Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Motivated by the significant performance gains which polar codes experience when they are decoded with successive cancellation list decoders, we study how the scaling exponent changes as a function of the list size L. In particular, we fix the block error ...

On the Convergence Speed of Spatially Coupled LDPC Ensembles

Vahid Aref

Spatially coupled low-density parity-check codes show an outstanding performance under the low-complexity belief propagation (BP) decoding algorithm. They exhibit a peculiar convergence phenomenon above the BP threshold of the underlying non-coupled ensemb ...
